In Response To: Clock settings for DMP series (Jason Lee)

18 minutes seems light to me. Considering that a 2 pt match is effective DMP and gets 4 minutes. But while that is good for a single random game, that is probably generous if you can average out over many games. Typical matches in my experience have the total number of games about equal to the match length, and more often less than more. And some of those games end with cube turns rather than being played out to the end as a DMP match will be. So 2 minutes per point is going to be too little time for a set of games all played to conclusion.

So if I had to guess, I'd say that DMP games should probably average 3 minutes each of clock allocation.
